Best way to do that is to hire a good manager and keep out of his or her
way.

You absolutely need to have a tour manager. And that tour manager might
be somebody's wife or husband in the band, or it might be some retiree
in your church congregation, and it might well be a volunteer who would
like to take a little vacation with the group. It might even be one member
of the band who is assigned the job although I strongly suggest this will
lead to fighting.


Couldn't agree more. I toured with a popular band from the late 60's early
60's and the manager was the husband of one of the lead singers.
Saw quite a few "let's get ready to rumble" performances there!
